1.	The measure of angles of a triangle are in ratio 8 : 7 : 5 , find the measure of greatest angle.
Answer» ONG>Answer: greatest angle is 72 Explanation: LET the angles be 8X, 7x and 5x, then 8x+7x+5x= 180 [Sum of angles in a triangle=180] =20X= 180 =x= 180÷18 =x= 9 Therefore the angles of the triangle are: 8x= 8×9= 72 7x=7×9=63 5x=5×9=45 the greatest angle is 72

The measure of angles of a triangle are in ratio 8 : 7 : 5 , find the measure of greatest angle.

Answer» ONG>Answer:

greatest angle is 72

Explanation:

LET the angles be 8X, 7x and 5x, then

8x+7x+5x= 180 [Sum of angles in a triangle=180]

=20X= 180

=x= 180÷18

=x= 9

Therefore the angles of the triangle are: 8x= 8×9= 72

7x=7×9=63

5x=5×9=45

the greatest angle is 72
